This iconic piece is an aria from The Barber of Seville by Italian composer Gioachino Rossini. It is sung at the first entrance of the title character and the repeated Figaros are one of the most familiar parts of operatic singing in popular culture. “Largo al Factotum“ translates into English as “Make way for the factotum.“ The term “factotum“ refers to a general servant and comes from the Latin where it literally means “do everything.“ The Barber of Seville was completed by Rossini in 13 days and is based on Pierre Beaumarchais’s comedy, Le Barbier de Séville, which took Paris by storm in 1775.
The opera was premeried in Rome on February 20, 1816 and its first night was a disastrous failure, the audience hissing and jeering throughout. Everything went wrong, a guitar string snapped, a cat walked on stage and there were protestations originated by a rival composer who had recently written his own version of the same story. Rossini quickly added some additional humorous lyrics for characters like the resourceful, witty servant Figaro but apprehensive he missed the second night pretending to be ill. Unaware that this time, the audience loved his opera, the composer heard a commotion on the street and fearing the crowds were out to get him, he was relieved to find they were out to congratulate him.
Figaro in The Barber of Seville is the same character as in Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro opera. The aria and the overture of The Barber of Seville have been parodied in numerous animated cartoons including Woody Woodpecker (The Barber of Seville), Bugs Bunny (Rabbit of Seville and Long Haired Hare), Tom and Jerry (The Cat Above and the Mouse Below and Kitty Foiled), and The Simpsons Homer of Seville).
Grigory Romanovich Ginzburg was a Jewish-born, Russian pianist.
He was recognized as one of the finest musicians in the Soviet Union and toured Europe several times. He became an important professor at the Moscow Conservatory in 1929. Some of his best-known students are Gleb Axelrod, Sergei Dorensky, Regina Shamvili and Sulamita Aronovsky. Ginzburg was best known for his piano touch that had ties with the tradition of 19th century players such as Franz Liszt. His eclectic repertoire and his art of transcription made of him one of the most unique performers in piano history.
